Inside the Tesla Model Y Police Vehicle: Unplugged Performance Upfit Tour

Hey everyone, DennisCW here! If you're a fan of Tesla innovations and cutting-edge vehicle modifications, you're in for a treat. In my latest video, I got an exclusive look at Unplugged Performance's new Upfit police vehicles based on the refreshed Tesla Model Y Juniper series. This isn't just a cosmetic upgrade—it's a full transformation that turns the sleek Model Y into a high-tech patrol machine. The new design makes the older police Model Y look downright dated, and with features like the cyber-inspired light bar, it gives off serious RoboCop vibes.

But there's more to this upfit than meets the eye. Unplugged Performance has packed in a ton of police-ready modifications, many of which you can snag for your own Tesla. (Fun fact: We even rocked some of these wheels on our Cybertruck!) Let me walk you through the standout changes, from exterior enhancements to interior gadgets. Whether you're a law enforcement pro or just a Tesla enthusiast, this setup is impressive.

Exterior Upgrades: Built for Duty

The exterior of this Model Y police vehicle is all about functionality, safety, and visibility. Unplugged Performance didn't hold back on making it patrol-ready.

• Front Push Bar and Lights: Right up front, there's a sturdy push bar that's drilled and fully bracketed for maximum durability. Integrated lights add to the emergency signaling, complementing the Model Y's own headlights for a seamless look.

• Side Spotlights: On both the left and right sides, you'll find spotlights—perfect for illuminating scenes or signaling during pursuits. It's a nod to traditional police cruisers but adapted for the electric era.

• Patrol Lighting: Up top, LED lights in red, white, and blue provide versatile emergency signaling. The cyber light bar ties everything together for that futuristic edge.

• Bulletproof Side Panels: One of the coolest surprises? These panels are bulletproof and removable. If they take damage, officers can swap them out easily without replacing the entire vehicle—smart and practical for real-world use.

• Rear Lights and Wheels: At the back, additional lights on the trunk ensure visibility from all angles. The PD wheels are rugged and police-spec, and yes, they're available for the Cybertruck too if you're looking to upgrade your ride.

• Big Brake Kit and Underbody LEDs: For enhanced stopping power, there's a beefy brake kit up front. Plus, side LEDs underneath add extra emergency signaling while on the move.

These mods aren't just for show; they're designed to handle the demands of police work while keeping the Model Y's electric efficiency intact.

Interior Features: High-Tech Command Center

Step inside, and it's like entering a mobile operations hub. The core Tesla experience is still there—the familiar UI and even some classical music playing in the background during my tour—but it's loaded with specialized gear.

• Roof-Mounted Emergency Lights: Overhead, more lights ensure the vehicle stands out in any situation.

• Police Gadgetry: The center console is outfitted with essentials like a microphone, speakers, and a handy laptop holder. (Honestly, I kind of want one of these for my daily driver—talk about productivity on the go!)

• Rear Holding Area: In the back, there's a secure space for detainees, complete with reinforced features for safety.

• Gun Holder: A dedicated spot for secure firearm storage rounds out the tactical setup.

I've never been inside a traditional police car, let alone a Tesla one, and this Upfit from Unplugged Performance blew me away. It's a perfect blend of Tesla's innovation and practical law enforcement needs.
